Over on the Parkrunners Anonomoyous thread there has been a cunning plan being hatched for a summer 10k meet up. Picking up on excellent suggestion from thenightsky here is a shiny new thread for us to use to plot.

So who's in?

ah thats great! I think you are much faster than me though so probably wont be possible to run alongside you!

jellybrain · 30/12/2013 09:07

Now I'm confused. No wonder I have geographical issuesBlush

Flossiechops · 30/12/2013 09:03

Nice try tiredemma Grin

If there was enough time we could stay in the area but I'd need time to find a place that I could bring my dogs :) we're in Suffolk so Yorkshire and back in a day is a bit of a trek!

Tiredemma · 30/12/2013 08:28

sutton park (sutton coldfield) quite central??

www.womensrunninguk.co.uk/womens10k.obyx

they do lots of other 10ks in the park also (race for life) and local charity/running club ones.

Nope, Henley is definitely in Oxfordshire. It was in Berkshire until they moved the boundaries, but currently it is Oxfordshire.

jellybrain · 30/12/2013 08:22

Ok so my geography is a bit offGrin and apparently its Berkshire not Ox. Looks fun though.

WoodBurnerBabe · 30/12/2013 04:38

If you want obstacles, the Badminton Horseless Team Event is fun - but not central at all, in South Gloucestershire... It's basically the horse trial cross country course but on foot, so you have climb the jumps are run through water :/)

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 29/12/2013 23:50

This might not be far north enough, but it is very handily located just off the A1 Smile

Biscuits You sound as though you are the most centrally placed MNer so far. Is there a road 10k we can target as a MN get together near you?

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 29/12/2013 23:36

Obstacles jelly Shock Grin

thenightsky · 29/12/2013 23:28

centre of uk

thenightsky · 29/12/2013 23:27

ahahahah at Oxfordshire being centre of UK Grin

I think you'll find its more Lancashire/Northumbria way!

jellybrain · 29/12/2013 23:20

The other race was at Catton Hill in Derbyshire for 2013. I assume it will be the same for 2014

jellybrain · 29/12/2013 23:16

It's in Oxfordshire so yes quite central.

thenightsky · 29/12/2013 23:06

Where's Henley? Is it middle of UK-ish?

jellybrain · 29/12/2013 22:50

Whoops think that might have been last years race. I will take a look when I have access to a proper PC. (Using my phone at the moment )I think they take place at another location too.

jellybrain · 29/12/2013 22:45

What about the Zest challenge in Henley on 15th of June. There's a 5k as well as the 10k. It's women only and includes obstaclesGrin

BiscuitsAreMyDownfall · 28/12/2013 11:18

Ooh I'd love to join too. I really enjoy races but go on my own and can be boring at the start. I'm doing a few in 2014 and a half marathon (my first which is in Sunderland) so if anyone is near me (North Yorkshire/North East area) it would be great to do one together.

cinnamongreyhound · 27/12/2013 21:49

Hi, I'm good thanks. I got a 110 for my birthday, it's fab and I charge it from my laptop while uploading to garmin connect to check out my routes :)

LizzieVereker · 27/12/2013 21:22

Hello Cinnamon! How are you? Yes Map Invent My Run does that, and also thinks I can run straight across a lake, like Jesus Confused. I'm thinking of splashing out on a Garmin watch.

cinnamongreyhound · 27/12/2013 21:08

Sometimes if you loose the gps signal them it draws a straight line from where it lost you to where it finds you LizzieVereker.

I'm sure there's an nhs podcast bridge to 10k and there is also a c210k but I'm not sure it's nhs.
